Speed and velocity are similar, but which thing makes them different?
Sedbober [7]

The velocity of the object is similar to speed but has one main difference: velocity takes into account the direction of an object. Since speed does not take direction into consideration, it is considered to be a scalar quantity. Thus, the speed of an object can never be negative.

Which of the following molecules link together to form starch?
AnnZ [28]
<span>Glucose which can also be fats from excess carbohydrates. </span>
Carbohydrates actually get stored in the form of long polymers of glucose molecules or as glycogen starch. They provide energy to the animals for performing their daily duties. Carbohydrates are generally considered the fuel for all organisms, and without this most animals would become sloth and would be unable to perform the regular jobs. Carbohydrates are actually very easy to metabolise and hence generate quick energy.<span>

The normal shape of an enzyme is as shown in structure A. If the enzyme's shape changes to that shown in structure B, what are t
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

There is no image showing the shape of an enzyme, however, the question can still be answered based on basic understanding. The answers are;

- Less binding of substrate

- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding

Explanation:

An enzyme is a biological catalyst that regulates the rate of chemical reactions in living systems. Enzymes are proteinous in nature and every protein is made up of an amino acid sequence. The amino acid sequence forms a three-dimensional shape that determines the functionality of the enzyme.

Enzymes catalyze reactions by binding to their substrates in a lock and key pattern. This makes enzymes substrate-specific. If the enzyme's normal shape changes, the following will occur:

- Less binding of substrate

- won't follow the lock-and-key pattern of enzyme binding.

Investigator Benton uses several methods to analyze hair samples found at the crime scene. He examines the physical features of
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

Medulla.

By analyzing the DNA extracted from the hair follicle, the medullary index and the pattern of medulla in the hair samples obtained from a crime scene, an investigator can identify the owner.

Explanation:

The hair consists of follicle and shaft. The follicle is the part of the skin, where the hair grows and the hair shaft has three layers: an inner medulla,  a cortex, and an outer cuticle.

The morphology (physical characteristics) of hair provides a broad detail on the racial background of  an individual and an investigator can identify a  group of people who share similar  traits. But the hair without follicle cells attached to it, cannot  be used to identify a specific individual. If the follicle of a hair is present, then it can lead to individual identification by DNA analysis. Also the medulla of animals is larger than that in the humans. By comparing the medullary index (the ratio of the diameter of the medulla to the diameter of the entire  hair), it can be determined if the hair obtained from crime scene belongs to animals or humans. The macroscopic (length, color, and curliness) and  microscopic characteristics ( pattern of the medulla, pigmentation of  the cortex, and types of scales on the cuticle) of the hair samples are studied during a crime investigation. If the entire hair follicle (follicular tag) is present in the hair samples found at the crime scene, the blood and tissue attached to  the follicle is extracted and analyzed using DNA profiling. DNA analysis of the hair follicle provides  an identification with greater accuracy than the hair shaft.
